# Connecting SailPoint and Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM To connect SailPoint with Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM, perform the following tasks: ## Adding the Source in SailPoint To connect to SailPoint, perform the following steps. Once the connection is made, you can configure it to meet your company's needs. > [!IMPORTANT] > > By default, the provisioning feature is **disabled**, and the connector only supports read-only operations. To support provisioning operations, you must manually enable the feature in the source configuration. **To configure a new source:** 1. Sign in to SailPoint. 2. Go to **Admin \> Connections \> Sources**. 3. Select **Create New**. 4. Search for the connector by entering the name in the search box, and then select **Actions**. 5. In the **Actions** dropdown list, select the setup method: - [**Express Setup**](<#configuring-a-source-using-express-setup>) - Quickly create a read-only connection to your target system by providing minimal configurations and authentication. On completion, aggregation is automatically started. > **Note** > > Express Setup supports Credential Providers. For information on supported credential providers and configuration, refer to [Credential Providers](). For more information, contact your SailPoint Customer Service Manager. - [**Standard Setup**](<#configuring-a-source-using-standard-setup>) - Provide detailed basic configuration to create the source. Once the source is created, continue with source setup. ### Configuring a Source Using Express Setup Express Setup minimizes the initial configuration process so you can quickly connect the application and immediately begin aggregating user account and entitlement data. 1. Review the directions and select **Start Express Setup**. 2. Review the pre-populated **Source Name**, **Source Owner**, and **Description**. To update, select **Edit**. > **Note** > > The source name must be unique. You can change these settings later in the source configuration. 3. Select **Virtual Appliance**. A virtual appliance is a Linux-based virtual machine that connects to your sources and apps using SailPoint APIs, connectors, and integrations. For more information about configuring and deploying virtual appliances, refer to [SailPoint Virtual Appliances](). 4. (Optional) If enabled for your organization, select the **Use a Credential Provider** checkbox to manage the source's authentication using a credential provider. > **Note** > > To add a Credential Provider in SailPoint, go to **Admin \> Connections \> Credential Providers**. For more information about credential providers, refer to [Credential Providers](). 5. Configure the authentication to allow SailPoint to connect to the source. For more information, refer to the **Connection Settings** section. 6. Select **Finish**. After a successful test connection, the system creates your source and prompts you to run an aggregation. - If you want to aggregate now, select **Aggregate**. - To see the latest account aggregation history, go to **Account Management \> Account Aggregation**. - To see the list of aggregated source accounts, go to **Account Management \> Accounts**. - If you want to aggregate later, select **Exit**. This returns you to the **Sources** page. Your new source is listed, but contains no accounts or aggregation history yet. ### Configuring a Source Using Standard Setup Use Standard Setup to configure the connector for full feature support. 1.
